The world's largest pulsed superconducting coil was successfully tested by charging up to 13 T and 46 kA with a stored energy of 640 MJ. The ITER central solenoid (CS) model coil and CS insert coil weredeveloped and fabricated through an international collaboration, and their cooldown and charging tests weresuccessfully carried out by international test and operation teams. In pulsed charging tests, where the originalgoal was 0.4 T/s up to 13 T, the CS model coil and the CS insert coil achieved ramp rates to 13 T of 0.6 T/s and 1.2 T/s, respectively. In addition, the CS insert coil was charged and discharged 10 003 times in the 13 T background field of the CS model coil and no degradation of the operational temperature margin directlycoming from this cyclic operation was observed. These test results fulfilled all the goals of CS model coildevelopment by confirming the validity of the engineering design and demonstrating that the ITER coils can now be constructed with confidence.
